The best burgers we have ever eaten. We were a group of 8 plus a toddler and everyone who had one agreed it was the best burger they’d ever had. One adult in the group chose something from the children’s menu which the staff were happy to allow. Two people shared the platter of 4 mini burgers and they were able to swap out one they weren’t keen on for a second of another which was no problem. 100% recommend!

If you’re on the Isle of Wight and craving a seriously good burger, The Cow should be high on your list. As they proudly advertise, they serve one of the tastiest burgers on the island—and they certainly live up to the claim. Juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection, the burgers here are a standout. The atmosphere is welcoming and casual, complemented by a team of friendly and attentive staff who make you feel right at home. Prices are reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food, and it’s a great spot for families or groups of friends looking for a satisfying meal. The venue is clean and well-kept, with spotless toilets that reflect their attention to detail. While the food is well-priced, the cocktails are on the pricier side, which may be a small downside for those looking to pair their meal with a few drinks. Note: The Cow is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so plan your visit accordingly.

An amazing restaurant in the fields offering the best locally made burgers from their own grown cows. The experience is unforgettable. It's just like my old memories of visiting Jeju Island in South Korea.

Amazing food, really top notch! Gluten free options brilliant, You can opt for GF bap or no bun....if you go no bun, they reduce the price slightly which is fantastic considering the number of places that charge the same! Thoroughly recommend everything!

Wow! What a tasty burger! It was very busy when we went, so the wait for food was a little longer than we wanted but waitress was very apologetic. But the food was so worth the wait, one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. The “Shinny shin shin” was my burger of choice
